Pavel,

Hi man how you doing?   Fine I hope ....   I see you and I have a slight
differance of opinion regarding Crafty winning this or not.

It's nothing personal, but I will state again I will be surprised if Crafty does
NOT win the Battle of the Crowns.   Crafty is the best free progam on earth, in
my opinion ....   :))   even though I know what opinions are like!

I think if Crafty doesn't win, there may be a possibility of a "smudge" factor.
Thats too deep to go into here, but all these fine results I see of the little
lady AMY, just don't equal out on my system ....   maybe my system is messed up?

Have a great day ....   :))
